Modularity Transportation by TOD Model in City of Ramadi in Iraq

Abstract

Striving to provide a sustainable transportation environment and developing urban city centers has become a basic requirement for current and future societies, especially with accelerating pace of urbanization. Therefore, an integrated transportation system with land uses within TOD system provides environmental treatments through developing traffic movement, encouraging walking and cycling, and introducing public transportation, which area lacks. The study, as well as diversity of mixed land use with high density, would achieve gains on economic and social dimensions and preserve land’s “compact city” image. Research presents a model for developing and analyzing possibilities of establishing a TOD center for Iraqi city of Ramadi according to independent indicators selected from experiences and based on TOD planning principles through an analytical approach to inputs in SPSS program, adopting a multiple linear regression model, which includes modeling relationship between land use and transportation. And reaching conclusions about intervention values for all variables with a positive and negative impact, in order to evaluate realistic performance of variable adopted for study area, from  possibility of creating TOD in  proposed location and  possibility of replicating it in other squares in  city of Ramadi to achieve integration at  city level.
